Load Regulation

Based on extensive research, introduced the peak load regulation characteristics and capacity of different nuclear power plant (NPP) in this paper. The running mode of NPP participating in peak load regulation of power system, combined operation tactics of NPP with other peaking power source and synergistic scheduling of an integrated power generation system with wind, photovoltaic, energy storage unit and NPP were summarized, technology development trend of NPP participating in peak load regulation of power system was analyzed and forecasted.

Bilateral Relations

Subject The Akkuyu nuclear plant that Turkey is building with Russia's Rosatom. Significance Since the Turkish air force downed a Russian warplane last November, bilateral relations have plunged to an all-time low. Rumours persist that Moscow has frozen funding for the Akkuyu nuclear power plant (NPP) and is unwilling to complete the project unless it can share the risk. Impacts Continued development would be an added incentive for Ankara and Moscow to repair relations. Abandoning the project would further strain relations between Ankara and Moscow. Turkey may look for other developers to complete the NPP while prioritising other forms of power generation.

Nuclear Power Generation

Quake-induced accident of Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011 triggered heated argument about the country’s energy policy in Japan. Although many people recognized the risk of nuclear energy use, they did not necessarily support the option of abandoning the technology for the near future. This paper focuses on how people perceive risks associated with and without nuclear power generation and how perceived risks affect their opinion. We conducted questionnaire survey targeting 18–20 year old university students, the stakeholders in the future. The survey was implemented in 2013–2014 when none of Japan’s nuclear power plants was in active use. Three quarters of the respondents answered that a future with nuclear power generation was more realistic than without it. The aspects dividing the two groups, i.e., respondents who expect a future with or without nuclear energy use were their evaluations of three themes: (1) the feasibility of renewable energy sources, (2) the impacts in the safety of developing nations’ nuclear power generation, and (3) the difficulty in gaining the acceptance of residents near the power plants. Meanwhile, both groups above were similarly positive about technological innovation, and were similarly and strongly negative about developing safety management.

Effects Of Drought

As the effects of climate change are being felt all over the world, sustainability indicators such as water withdrawn per kilowatt-hour, are becoming more important in the decision-making process for large infrastructure projects. In Mongolia, we are deciding whether to use nuclear as a main power source. However, local droughts in Mongolia can be quite severe, occurring every 4-5 years and several countries have shown droughts to interrupt their power plant operations. This study collects data and conducts analyses to estimate sustainability indicators for a nuclear power plant life cycle and extends these analyses to understand how an event such as a drought would affect such indicators. The first part of this study is to provide background information regarding life cycle water use from power generation facilities. Our study focused on the APR-1400 nuclear power plant. If we account for drought frequency in Mongolia, the life cycle water withdrawal is estimated to be approximately 7,611 L/MWh for the nuclear power plant.Keywords: nuclear, sustainability, water, drought
